LAS VEGAS, April 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asia Broadband Inc. (OTC: AABB) ("AABB" or the "Company") announced today that the Company is in the process of finalizing its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2023, and has confirmed a gross profit of $4.6 million. Leading the way was record high quarter for the Company's digital assets segment with $3.9 million in sales of the AABBG token combined with the initial sales of the Golden Baboons Mining Club NFT (Non-Fungible Token) collection launch in late February. Additionally, the mining segment continued its gold production from 2022 into Q1 of this year and is expected to expand dramatically with the installation of a new processing facility and the commencement of the ore stockpile production in the second half of 2023. The achievement of these milestones and the continued progress with its business plans affirms the Company's ongoing success of its digital asset and mining operations.

AABB has recently expedited the development of significant changes and enhancements to all the components of AABB's digital assets division. The release of key improvements to the AABBG token, AABB Exchange and PayAABB are expected to be implemented in the 2^nd quarter. Also, the Company has been consulting comprehensively with its cryptocurrency, blockchain and cybersecurity expert to enhance the architecture, functionality and management of all AABB's digital asset operations. Some of the improvements to be deployed soon will dramatically lower transaction costs and increase processing speeds, expand liquidity and increase user satisfaction with added intuitive functionality.

In December 2022, AABB completed the land purchase for the site of the new processing facility to be constructed with respect to the terms of the historic and long-term processing and production agreement signed previously for a large-scale gold and silver ore stockpile located in Las Jimenez, Etzatlan, Jalisco, Mexico. The agreement allows the Company exclusivity to purchase the 4 million ton ore stockpile at an economically feasible price point. A recent evaluation report has estimated the stockpile to represent over $ 800 million in total gold and silver value. The stockpile processing project is the largest high-yield asset addition for the Company to date in its strategic expansion initiative to acquire gold production and increase AABB's physical gold holdings.

"Our management and operations groups are thrilled with the first quarter results this year. We had a record high quarter in our digital assets business segment with AABBG and NFT sales, while our mining production continues and is set to expand significantly when our new processing plant comes online in the months ahead. It's going to be an exciting and strong year of growth for the Company," stated Chris Torres, AABB President and CEO.
